The company was founded in 1919 at Nagasaki. Ever since the founder, Genshiro Araki came out from Nagasakido to Osaka in 1924 to set up an oven, we have been succeeding the history, tradition and craftsmanship that are built by our forerunners. For more than 90 years, we have been operating many retail outlets throughout Japan and abroad.

We propose a new form of traditional Japanese style from its flagship store at 300 year-old traditional townhouse on Muromachi-dori street in Kyoto. There are 90 stores of ZEN KASHOIN both in Japan and abroad.
